Why We're Attracted To Certain People.

This could be a general question. But I'll field it in the gay section first. What does it mean whether you find a person (male, since it's the gay section) beautiful v. sexy v. cute or adorable?

Beautiful can be a philosophical term. But it's usually subjective. A scientist who works in medicine would say from an evolutionary perspective, it means that person has the best genes. An ethicist might take it a step further and say it's who is most moral. A woman might say it's who provides for her financial too. Etc.

I don't know what sexy could mean. It could mean what I said for beautiful. Or it could be something random in our evolutionary history. Maybe, for example, we still have head hair because one of proto-human ancestors liked it. Who even knows why.

And cute/adorable? I do have a theory on that. From an evolutionary perspective, for example, we find our offspring adorable, so we won't eat them. Because like they said on another message board, to a Lion, his cubs are just slow-moving food. But he doesn't eat them, and that's important. It could also mean vulnerable. But not always in a bad way.

So what is the difference between those three terms? What do they mean to you on a personal level?

 

Well first, be aware that there are both male and female gay and bi people.

The sexual attraction I feel with others is based on the depth of our communication. If we really connect both verbally and nonverbally, that intense communication tends to move us toward touching and being affectionate with each other.

 

I think its a very complicated network of feelings and emotions. Far too complex to condense into general rule of thumb simplicity.
I can only really speak for myself but I find women very visually alluring, a pretty face, nice legs, cute bum and curvy body. Don’t fancy men, but I have also been known to enjoy sucking cock. We are all different
